world number one pianist

Chapter 273 Darkness Falls?

The audience in the classical music circle in Europe was all blown up.

As far as they are concerned, it has been a long time since they heard that kind of special big guy release an album!

It has been so long that they have forgotten that there are new recordings in the piano world.

The most popular pianists in Europe and America are basically Lang Liangyue, Kissin and the like.

But Lang Liangyue has only released an album, and his album can't be said to be bad, it can only be said... very conventional, without that kind of eye-catching feeling.

That's the kind of interpretation that goes beyond the top level.

Lang Liangyue's every capital is a master-level performance, but it is a pity that it is not too eye-catching.

However, many people still like Lang Liangyue's performance. After all, his personal style is too obvious. Even if he is not particularly eye-catching, he can still listen to it!

It's just a pity that his hand was injured and he couldn't interpret those particularly large pieces.

Coupled with Lang Liangyue's personal concert tour, he no longer performed large-scale works, and began to turn to some small and refined works.

Therefore, in Europe and America, the discussion of Lang Liangyue began to decline.

Just when there was a gap in this market, a new pianist appeared on the Internet, a pianist who they seemed to have heard before, but was not particularly impressed.

All of a sudden, the group of gourmets with a particularly high level of music appreciation frantically followed the steps of those music review magazines to listen to He Shen's interpretation.

The results are obvious...

This work by He Shen directly reached the top of Youtubie's daily classical music list.

It surpassed a large number of beautiful pianists who were ranked first in the playback volume before!
Countless Youtuyou users, under He Shen's video screen, kept scrolling their languages.

Use their language to describe how I feel about He Shen's work.

as well as……

Hate!

"He, you play very well! I like your performance very much, but why do you only have one piece? Can't you have a little more?"

"Oh... why, why did it end so soon? You are too short!"

"Very strong! But too short, not enough!"

"How awesome!!!"

"..."

No matter where you look at it, almost everyone thinks that He Shen's work is very good, so good that it feels a little outrageous!

Similarly, He Shen's work is too short, so short that they can't help it!
Therefore, they kept urging He Shen to speed up the update of new works under He Shen's video, wishing that He Shen would update ten videos a day, all of which were works of this level!
Of course, they were just looking forward to it, and they didn't have particularly high expectations for it.

Just like urging the author, this thing is not something that can be urging out just by urging it.

When those pianists play these top-level works, it is absolutely impossible for them to come out after just one run-in. They will definitely run in many times, play non-stop, and choose the best one before releasing it.

This is also true, they just kept yelling for He Shen to update quickly, playing tricks verbally, but in their behavior, they did not perform other superfluous actions.

However, this was originally just a very common reminder, but Schneider at Deutsche Grammophon felt a slight chance.

Schneider stood in front of his desk, touched his chin, looked at the comment area in front of him, his eyes flickered.

Here's an opportunity!
A very easy to borrow opportunity!

This time, He Shen's influence in Europe due to a piece of work was beyond Schneider's expectation.

He Shen's current work is too few, too short, and it is not enough to listen to.

In addition, the main body has always been relatively sad, and most of them will feel uncomfortable after listening to it a few times, so they don't want to continue listening.

However, it was precisely because of this that He Shen directly whetted the appetites of countless people.

Let these viewers leave a message asking He Shen to continue to add more updates under the Youtubie He Shen channel created by their Deutsche Grammophon company.

Normally, these audiences should not be like this.

After all, everyone has so many classics handed down from generation to generation to listen to, and those works have passed the copyright deadline and were put on the Internet.

Those works are basically the most perfect works performed by countless top pianists in their lifetime.

Everyone is used to listening to those works.

But He Shen is different this time!
He Shen is a new pianist, a pianist who is completely unfamiliar to everyone.

Everyone's understanding of his touch keys, He Shen's music, and He Shen's technique are completely blank.

In addition, there have not been any top pianists who have released some relatively influential videos or albums recently.

They've all been on a break lately.

This leaves the market completely empty!

This... seems like an opportunity!
An opportunity for He Shen to walk out of Huaguo and go to the world thoroughly.

Not only that, but He Shen can even use his influence in the world to feed back to Huaguo, and jointly improve He Shen's ranking among musicians all over the world!

Promoted to the top 100 pianists in the world?

Schneider, the person in charge of Deutsche Grammophon magazine, couldn't help touching his chin, and began to think seriously about the possibility of success in this matter.

Now, it does seem like an opportunity.

However, this requires a wave of design!
He struggled for a while, returned to the computer, and quickly wrote an email to He Shen.

On the European side, the main way for most people to communicate is through mail, whether it’s with the post office, school, or colleagues.

Email is always the most efficient way.

Instead of using quick chat software.

After Schneider waited for the email to be sent, he turned and walked outside to the workplace.

He wants to call some people to discuss the possibility of designing He Shen's first solo album!
If we only talk about perfect interpretation, they have another work here.

The video of He Shen winning the Chopin International Piano Competition at the end!
At that time they tried to burn this video and sell it.

It's a pity, except at the beginning, that is, when He Shen just won the championship, there was a little bit of sales, which barely made it back.

In the end, after He Shen disappeared, the record has been in a state of loss, and they can only recycle it and stop sending it.

Now it seems that there is an opportunity to restart this work, reprint it, and then burn it.

Specifically, it is uploaded to the website as a way to attract fans.

Or, as part of the album, burn it into an album.

It all depends on He Shen's future choice!
However, as the head of a music company, he still needs to prepare for both in advance.

Soon, his whole body completely entered the state of work.

And that email spread along the Internet, and it didn't take long before it reached He Shen's mobile phone.

At this moment, He Shen was standing at the door of his piano room, frowning and looking at the three people in front of him.

At his door, a group of parents stood.

Both parents brought their children to the door of He Shen's piano room.

Parents at the back, children at the front, an incomparably standard combination.

Seeing He Shen open the door and come out, the mother immediately smiled cautiously.

"Mr. He, Mr. He, hello, hello, what, are you free recently? Can you listen to my child play his work? And then give me a little... give pointers? After all, we just heard about Jiangzhou The Conservatory of Music will conduct a pilot program of recruiting foreign students this year, and next year it will completely open up enrollment, so we think..."

The mother looked around and found that there were no students around, and when no one noticed them at all, she breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out her hand to poke the very simple-looking man standing by the side.

Taking a box of tea from the man's hand, he squeezed out a smile and said to him.

"Well, we're here for the first time, and we don't know Professor He's preferences, so we brought two boxes of tea. I hope Professor He will be affected. Please help our children to see if there is any chance to enter your Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music? "

After finishing speaking, she passed the tea in her hand forward, with a flattering look in her eyes.

She also poked the man next to her with her elbow, and the man realized it instantly, and also showed a flattering smile at He Shen.

Only that little boy was looking around nonchalantly, wondering what he was thinking.

He Shen took a look at the two parents, especially at the tea in their hands, and sighed slowly in his heart, filled with endless exhaustion.

This is not the first time...

He Shen opened his mouth, and just when he was about to say something, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and an email in German floated on the lock screen page.

Before He Shen could see what was written on it, the eyes of the parents became sharp.

Especially that mother, her eyes almost went directly to He Shen's phone, wanting to see what was written on He Shen's phone.

A pianist, the mobile phone is full of character emails.

This force came up in an instant!

But when He Shen raised his head, the mother immediately retracted her head, pretending that nothing happened.

He Shen glanced at his mobile phone, then at the parents in front of him. After struggling for a moment, he sighed slowly and said to the child at the door.

"Come in, you sit on it, and play the repertoire for your exam."

The mother's eyes lit up instantly, and the smile on her face became wider. She took a small step forward, and while pushing the tea in He Shen's hand, she turned her head and smiled at her son.

"Little Tiger, hurry up, get on the piano, and show the teacher your current level! Be sure to play well, and play the water you should have..."

As she was talking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He Shen's hand did not touch the tea leaves she handed out at all.

Instead, he took two steps backwards.

There was a gradual coldness in He Shen's eyes, which made her feel a chill in her heart. She shrank the tea in her hand into her arms in embarrassment, and said in a low voice.

"He, Professor He, what's the matter? You... don't you like tea?"

He Shen looked at her, then at the child who was still standing at the door, and said in an extremely cold tone.

"You, go to the piano."

The child was immediately taken aback by He Shen's incomparably cold demeanor, and couldn't help shrinking his back slightly towards He Shen, and said in a low voice.

"Oh……"

He walked carefully in front of He Shen, glanced at his parents tentatively, and then at He Shen again, showing fear, not daring to speak, walked quickly to the piano, and sat upright.

After he sat down, He Shen turned his gaze back to the parents of the little boy in front of him. Without saying a word, he just glanced at them, hummed softly, and said very flatly.

"You guessed it, obviously, I don't like tea."

After all, he slammed the door shut.

Peng! !

The door of the piano room slammed shut in front of the parents, causing the two of them to take a step back, look at each other awkwardly, and touched their faces.

The two of them stood at the door in embarrassment, waiting for the sound in the room.

They waited until the sound of their child's piano came from the piano room, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

The mother took a step back, leaned against the railing, threw the tea in her hand to the man, and complained feebly.

"Sure enough, this Professor He is exactly the same as the rumors on the Internet. The young man is young and vigorous, he is indifferent, and he can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. We came to find Director He Shenhe, and asked Director He to help our child enter the university. Was it a wrong choice? husband?"

The man, that is, her husband, held the tea in his hand, gently blew off the dust on it, and opened the tea box with a puzzled expression on his face.

"No, shouldn't it be easier to deal with this young deputy director? He doesn't even accept tea, so what kind of gift should we prepare for him? Is it necessary to throw the cash to him directly? Or do we have to ask for it? Bank Transfer?"

While talking, he opened the tea box in front of him and took out the tea leaves on it.

Under the tea leaves, there is a large pile of banknotes densely packed, all of which are 100 yuan soft sister coins.

The man clicked the soft sister coins inside one by one, and after confirming that they were correct, he nodded, closed the tea leaves, and put them in his arms.

The total amount in this tea is not too much, only [-].

This is just a meeting ceremony. If they want to take further classes with He Shen, they have prepared more money.

Calculated according to the market price, at least 50 yuan has been prepared, which is still relatively small.

The main reason is that although Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music is considered a new conservatory and has even been open for several years, it has been recruiting students in Jiangzhou. Their reputation is very high among all conservatories. inconspicuous.

You can say that Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music is just an ordinary local college.

Now Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music is about to recruit students from the entire Huaguo. It is obvious that it will become a conservatory within the scope of Huaguo, marching towards a higher level,

The price of 50 yuan for this new national conservatory is quite reasonable.

Those very large conservatories, their prices are even more outrageous.

It is said that there are professors who have collected millions of dollars!
A class costs 5000 yuan, lasts for 45 minutes, and has two classes for one and a half hours a day.

That's how it was packed.

Therefore, they felt that they gave He Shen 5 yuan as a gift at the beginning of the meeting, which was already very good!

It turned out that they just came here to look for He Shen, and they didn't even send out the meeting gift, but He Shen closed the door and smashed them out.

The man looked at his wife and said helplessly, "So, what should we do now? Do you want to leave this thing here?"

When the mother heard about this place, she stepped on the man's foot angrily, and said angrily, "Are you crazy? This place is a school! It would be fine if it was Professor He Shen's home, but this place is a school! Gifts have to be given secretly! What are you trying to do by putting this gift here? Are you sending Professor He Shen in directly?"

"Don't be able to enter at that time, but because you threw this gift at the door, you hated Professor He Shen and returned our child directly!"

Speaking of this place, she couldn't help but get even more angry, she stepped forward and grabbed the man's waist forcefully, the man who was pulling him winked and frowned, begging for forgiveness non-stop.

As a result, the two were flirting, discussing how to break He Shen's barrier, and let He Shen take their children...

The door of He Shen's piano room opened, and the little boy who had entered before came out with his head down, looking like he was about to cry.

Seeing her child like this, the mother immediately walked forward in small steps, hugged her child, and apologized to He Shen with a smile.

"Professor He, my child...how is he? Are you satisfied?"

He Shen looked at the mother in front of him, then at the father who was standing behind the mother, and finally looked at the child who was about to be taught to cry, and said calmly.

"Yes, keep working hard, and I will have a chance to come in next year."

"Mr. He, is it true? Have you decided to accept him as a student? Look, should we set up a class time with you now?" The mother's eyes lit up, and she took two steps forward. He said to He Shen.

Unexpectedly, He Shen got a more serious expression in exchange.

He Shen looked at his mother in front of him, and shook his head firmly and slowly.

"I said, he works hard and can go."

When the mother heard this place, she took a step forward and said excitedly: "Mr. He Shen, then that pair of tea leaves..."

boom! ! !
He Shen slammed the door of the piano room, shutting out the mother who was holding tea, her husband, and the child.

The mother glanced at the tea in her hand, and then at her husband behind her, feeling confused.

He Shen also said that her child could pass the exam, but she refused to take her child with her.

what does this mean?Think you don't have enough money?

Or, this is just a polite remark, in fact, her child will not be able to get into the conservatory of music at all?
Or what does it mean?
For a moment, the mother had no idea what He Shen was thinking, she couldn't help scratching her head, and stood at the door for a long time.

She waited until it was confirmed that He Shen would not open the door, then she threw the tea to her husband, and led the family away towards the stairs with question marks all over her head.

Can't figure out what's going on at all.

He Shen, on the other hand, stood at the door and waited until the sound at the door was completely quiet before he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He Shen sighed, walked to the small sofa in his piano room, threw himself directly on the sofa, and kept rubbing his eyebrows.

What happened just now is not the first time for He Shen!

During the days when He Shen came back, apart from Jiang Yunling and Schneider, he had been reporting to He Shen his achievements on the Internet.

Most of the rest of his time is spent dealing with these parents.

Many parents bring a lot of gifts when they come to visit for the first time.

Especially the first parent, when they came to visit, they knew from somewhere that He Shen liked to eat lollipops, so they gave He Shen a jar of lollipops.

He Shen didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that a jar of candy didn't cost much, only a few hundred yuan, so he took out a few hundred yuan and handed it to the parents, and returned to his piano room with the parents' strange expressions.

then……

He Shen was shocked instantly.

He really didn't expect that someone could hide money in a lollipop!

What the hell, a lollipop contains 100 yuan, and there are two or three hundred lollipops in it...

He Shenren was dumbfounded.

He ran back on the spot and sent back the big jar of lollipops.

He worked hard there to see how other people's children played the piano, and then taught him a little bit.

As a result, after the teaching was over, I confiscated a penny and posted hundreds of dollars.

It was precisely because of this that He Shen was unwilling to accept any gifts from others after this point.

Too scary!

He Shen only knew before that being a professor at a conservatory makes money, but he never expected to make so much money!
A group of people rush to put money into your hand in order to enter the school.

Of course, those who take the exam by themselves must be in the majority.

But you must know that there are nearly [-] candidates for music studies in a state every year. Even if only [-]% of them want to come and pay, there are still about [-] people who come to He Shen.

One person played a piece of work for nearly half an hour, and then chatted and taught briefly.

He Shen was almost put on the ground.

Moreover, the Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music knew that He Shen was coming back, so it had already prepared a pilot program to recruit a small number of students from the surrounding states to see the specific situation.

This has also led to the school's recent work being particularly busy.

Wednesday intentionally or unintentionally allowed He Shen to participate in the operation of the school, which reduced He Shen's original piano practice time of only about eight hours to three or four hours.

This is the result of He Shen finding an opportunity to slip away and practice the piano by himself.

and……

He Shen let himself lie on the sofa, raised his hand tiredly and looked at the information on the phone.

And now besides dealing with the parents, he has to make a decision.

Schneider asked him whether he would choose to play some more works and then release an album, or just release the previous works directly.

If an album is released, it is not enough to rely on his two works that break through Lv10 and reach the perfect level. One more song needs to be added, and a theme should be set for this set of works.

These are not particularly simple tasks!
If I want to make an album, I still need to do a lot of preparation at the very least.

But what if it is released directly?

According to what Schneider said, this may save trouble and increase exposure for a short time, but these works cannot be included in the album.

In other words, the Chopin album that I am most sure of will not have Chopin's First Piano Concerto and Chopin's Funeral March just now.

Both of my two top-level works are unavailable, it's fine if the album can be sold, let alone the top pianists in the world.

For a moment, He Shen felt extremely tired.

He began to think, was it too child's play for him to decide to lead Huaguo's music education to rise?
Practicing the piano and teaching at the same time...

At the very least, you have to be a master of time management to manage it, right?

He Shen lay on his side on the sofa, threw his phone aside, and reached out to turn on his system.

The first time he saw the system page, He Shen was completely stunned.
